The family of Dani Alves is committed to securing a loan for the bail payment of the ex-Barcelona footballer

Dani Alves was convicted of sexual assault earlier this month, over an incident that took place in Barcelona in December 2022. The former footballer has since appealed that verdict, and in the meantime, has hoped to secure his release temporary from prison.

After numerous attempts were denied over the past 14 months, Alves was released earlier this week by the presiding judge in his case. For 1 million euros, he would be allowed to leave prison, with the conditions that his Spanish and Brazilian passports were seized to avoid leaving the country, and that he stay away from his alleged victim.

The problem for Alves is that his bail has yet to be paid. He is unable to do so himself as it is broken, and Neymar's father – who had helped him make a compensation payment earlier this year – he refused to pay this time MD they have now reported that his family, especially his mother and brother, are scrambling to secure a loan, which covers the amount of bail.

If they can do so in the next 24 hours, then Alves he would be allowed to leave prison on Monday, at least for the time being.
